Shutdown Computers/PC before leaving office.

Should Computers/PC Monitor, Printer, UPS… be shutdown daily before leaving office?

• It is better to shut down the computer before leaving the office to save power.

• It is better to turn off your computer daily while leaving office because it reduces risk of any unexpected electrical hazard that might occur from an unattended computer.

• Turning computer off means it is getting a break. We all know everything has a lifetime. The more the computer runs, the less its lifetime will be.

• It is a good practice. Your data is more safe when the PC is  completely power off. Also re booting a machine improves performance. You should also check the workplace policy.
